Oops.  It looks like I forgot to push all of the refs.  And when I try,
it fails with "fatal: cannot exec 'send-pack': Argument list too long"

I hacked git to send batches of 1000; maybe I'll actually make a real
patch with ARG_MAX at some point. Anyway, this is uploading now, but I
estimate that it will take at least five hours, because github is being
really slow about this.

I would not expect a noticeable change on a tiny number of refs; it's
only when ref parsing takes up a large percentage of runtime -- tens of
thousands of refs.
